I read a post about connecting to Vista with Finder Go

but the guy was asking if there was a way to not use that work around.. i was hoping someone could explain how to connect to a vista PC using that Finder > Go > Connect to Server method i tried using the local IP of the PC but it didnt work am i missing something?

you have to enable file sharing on your mac so that you can share files with windows computer - you also need to create a password protected account on the windows machine that has permission to read and if you wish write to the folders you plan to share - then you simply use the finder method Go > connect to server and as the previous poster showed you use smb://myvista-pc when you click connect it should prompt you for a username and password to access the share - this will be the username and password you setup on the vista machine not your username on your mac - I use a 24" imac and my wife prefers to stick with windows vista.. i have no problem connecting, viewing, or editing files on her vista machine using this method in fact in some very basic tests i did the transfer of files is much quicker than between two windows machines

General Question about connectivity of printer with tablets

I want to know what are the possible ways to connect a tablet with keyboard -mouse and printer simultaneously

That all depends on which tablet you are using. If it happens to be a windows 8 tablet that has a full USB port on it you can get a USB hub to share that port to multiple devices and plug everything in that way.
If it is an android tablet however you may have to connect a the mouse and keyboard via bluetooth, and then the printer over wifi which should work on windows as well.
If you let me know exactly what tablet and printer you have I might be able to find the best possible solution for those devices.

Ok, so i've read the posts about South Africa, does anybody know of a site

Hi. I am desperately looking for a fully legal online store that I can buy music from if I live in South Africa. It seems impossible to find out. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, but I'm not aware of any that carry major-label content. For major artists, I think you're pretty much stuck with buying CDs for now. There are some sites carrying independent artists, such as eMusic, that might have content you'd like.

E3200 - Won't connect to Vista with Atheros adapters

Initially a very easy set up. That is until I tried to connect my older computers. After multiple attempts on both older Vista computers, it was always connecting to router but never to internet. Finally I tried tech support but only could do on line support. Very difficult typing the problem. Long and short, Linksys has a connectivity problem with Vista and Atheros network adapters. I was typed there was a driver problem but since the new computers connected there was nothing to do. Their answer was call the manufacturer. No suggestions on what to ask for, where to go or what I need. After a couple hours on the Toshiba website, no driver updates were ever found and still no internet on the the older computers. It appears to be a great router if you have all new computers but Linksys isn't really very helpful for the older computers. So DO NOT get this if you have older computers your trying to connect. VERY dissapointed in the abject lack of assistance and NO LIVE people to talk with about the issues they are aware of but choose not to fix or even deal with.

Linksys routers are compatible with all the computer and laptops whether old or new… Even the Router can able to get connect in any Operating System… So if you can tell me what was the exact problem that you were getting in the older computers…

Question about connection to network with Terminal Window

WinXP Pro, SP2, PCMCIA-Fritz-Card
Hi,
I'm trying to create a computer-to-computer connection via ISDN telephone line.
I didn't install any specific dialing software, I'm using only setting of MS WinXP.
The hardware is working fine, I tested it successful while dialing in to different internet provider.
Now I need to connect to a company network and they have a specific logon policy, where I need to show the Terminal Window during login procedure.
Therefore I activate on dial in connection property dialog, on page 'Security Properties' the option 'Show Terminal Window'.
Problem during dial in: the window doesn't occur.
Second problem: If I go next time to this option, the input value is not saved.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Peter

Please dont be mad on me but I dont see what is in your posting specific for Toshiba forum.
You should talk with network administrator in your company and he should be able to help you. Other way, maybe on some network specific forum you will have more chance to find out what is the solution for your problem.
If you have Toshiba notebook and all hardware you need for connection works well, I dont see reason for writing here.
Anyway I wish you luck and hope your network administrator will be able to help you.

Need help.. Question about connectivity of PS2 with Creative A2ZS Video Edit

Hi everyone, i have question regarding creative A2ZS video editor.. please forgive me for my innocent question since im new here..
I own a Play Station 2.. can this video editor allow me to connect my PS2 and show the display on the monitor so that i can play my PS2 game on the monitor? it's like functioning like a VGA box.. thanks!Message Edited by nicholas_23 on 05-9-200709:46 AM

If you hook the standard analog video outputs of the PS2 (the ones that would go to the TV) into the Video Editor and get into the VidCap applet (free download from the Creative Website), drag the Preview window so its full screen, then you can use your laptop or desktop as a "TV".

When on internet my iMac keeps going to gray screen with message reading 'You are not connected to the internet'. My wireless connection is fine for my other devices, why does my iMac keep losing connection with network?

I have read other post about this and one of them said to uncheck "enable auto channel scan" in my router settings and chang from chanel 6 to 5. I was able to change the channel to 5 but i can't find anywhere on their page where it has the option to uncheck "enable auto channel scan". I have a Netgear router WGT624 v3. Can anyone recomend anything?

I've had this problem for months and finally called Apple support and paid the one time support fee to get a solution. I purchased a 21.5" iMac in the summer of 2011 and am currently running OS X 10.7.3. After confirming all my wifi settings were correct (already suspected this, since every other wireless device in the house works great), the Apple support tech recommended changing channels on my router from "Enable Auto Channel Scan" to one channel out of the 11 available. I currently have a D-Link DIR-655 router, but the tech said the same structure exists on all wireless routers. In other words, my situation would not improve if I bought an Apple router (Airport Extreme, Time Capsule, etc). I logged into my router (here are common IP addresses for routers... http://compnetworking.about.com/od/workingwithipaddresses/f/getrouteripaddr.htm , and made the channel preference change (in my case, unchecked "enable auto channel scan" and changed from channel 6 to channel 5). It's been a few days since applying this change and so far, I haven't lost my connectivity. Even though I live in a residential subdivision (not an apartment / condo), my iMac is detecting up to 21 other local networks and this was causing interference (some of my neighbors using the same channel). Sure enough, when I check the channels of nearby networks, I find many are using channel 6 and no one is using channel 5. To find out what nearby network channels are being used, go to Apple icon in top left, "about this Mac", "more info", "system report", under network choose "wifi", scroll down and see other wifi network info. Changing the router channel from auto enable to a specific channel has improved both my internet connectivity and speed (not sharing same channel with neighbors). Hope this helps!

Cannot connect to Itunes, status bar goes about half way and stops. I have tried all the fixes other people have used, no joy. Running Vista with the most recent Itunes installed. Disabled fire wall and anti virus software. Once again, I have tried it all

Itunes won't connect, status bar goes about half way and stops, then times out. I have tried all fixes posted, you name it, I have done it. Running Vista and current version of Itunes. Can connect to Internet with any other app. Using Firefox, their latest version if that matters.
I have seen this is an on going problem throughout the Itunes community. All I can say is 'Bad Form Apple, Bad form.'

One more odd thing. The itunes diagnostics believes my windows firewall is on which is it not (believe me I've checked/double checked etc) AND believes itunes is not enable in windows firewall which it is, if ever I turned WF on. How can itunes get this wrong? I mean, if itunes believes its being blocked, maybe that's why I'm being blocked...has anyone heard of this?

Does Apple read these posts? I'm having the same trouble connecting iphone4s to my 2012 Prius V. Apple said it was a Toyota problem. Apple needs to help us all!!!!!!!

Cannot connect new iPhone 4S to my Prius V bluetooth . Have been trying so many different fixes. Maybe if the almighty Apple read the posts, the problem could be fixed. Help!!!

From http://www.toyota.com/entune/what-is-entune/phones.html we read:
"Android™ and Blackberry® wirelessly connect your phone to the available Entune™-equipped Toyota using Bluetooth®. The iPhone® is connected via a USB data cable."
There's clearly something different about the iPhone's bluetooth capabilities than the other two phones. To say it's only Apple's or Toyota's problem isn't very helpful for anyone because, yes, Toyota should have designed Entune for full compatibility with iOS devices and, yes, Apple should have designed the iPhone to be at least as capable as the other phones wrt bluetooth.
I still don't know who to holler at.

Reader crashes after about 5 seconds. Vista.

Reader crashes after about 5 seconds. Vista operating system. latest version of Reader for Vista.

I solved the problem by uninstalling all of the Adobe stuffr I had, then installing the lower version. Beware of "X" on standalone PC's. I believe that X thought I used a server.

I was concerned after reading all of the negative posts about the Micro .

I just received my Micro (Light Blue, thank you) this afternoon. I had replied to some of the posts the other night expressing my concern over potential troubles with the unit. I read horror stories about firmware and software problems, players and systems locking up, poor quality USB drivers and/or cables and countless hours spent searching through forums and sending units back for replacement.
I'm happy to report that I thus far have had absolutely NO trouble with my Micro. Software instillation was smooth and my first transfer (about .5 gigs) only took about 30 minutes or so and was flawless!! Audio quality is superb and it sounds even better through my new Inspire T3000 speaker system.
I should apologize to those who may have been discouraged by my previously pessimistic attitude in earlier posts. I also want to thank the few of you who did respond positi'vely to my questions and helped put aside my fears. You guys were right !! I love this thing ............

hsalter3, by reading the title of your post, I thought that your posting is going to be negati've. It turns out to be the opposite. Since you are going to post positi've comments, you should choose a more appropriate title for your post. Otherwise, it may mislead a lot of people who just browse through the titles only.
Similarly, your post almost misled people regarding the transfer speed. Luckily, someone questioned further and you made a clarification.
Anyway, it nice knowing that you like the Zen Micro.

Where Can I Learn About Connecting an External Drive to My Airport Extreme?

I'm having trouble find information on this. I want to know the pros and cons of connecting my LaCie drive to the FireWire port of my base station so that different computers in the house have direct access to it. I'd like to know whether there will be a big change in the data transfer rate, any security issues, and whether permissions will be assigned automatically by the computer creating new folders on the drive. Also, I'd like to know whether Time Machine works well this way.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.

You're right about the USB. Must have been imagining things. Darn those meds. Thanks for the speed comparison too; I think I'll experiment a bit. Shame about Time Machine though. I thought I had read a post elsewhere on the discussion board saying that Time Machine recognized an external drive connected to a router. It may not have been an AEBS, and perhaps recognizing it doesn't mean Time Machine will back up to it.
Thanks again for your reply.

Having serious problems with apps on iphone 5 ios7 (have read other posts)

Hello,
My daughter has an iphone 5 with ios 7.02. Ever since she updated to ios7 she has not been able to update her apps. When she tries they grey out and are stuck on waiting. We have tried everything and I think I have read every post on the subject. I decided to work on it again today and I have deleted as many of the apps as I can, there are still some that are completely grey that don't show in any list and won't delete off the phone.
I cannot update to ios 7.03 because it does not show that as an update. Now when you look at the app store icon it has a little #28 on it but when I go into the App Store app to see the updates it only shows 4 because I have deleted all the other apps.
Things to know.
This phone has only ever been in icloud.
Never connected to the computer.
I have tried every version of signing out of itunes, deleting apps, resetting network settings, reset by holding on/off and home button that I can read about. I'm at a loss.
These are my main questions/concerns-
Why won't the deleted apps come off the screen?
Why does the App store icon show 28 but when go into the App store app it only has 4 updates?
Why is there no ios 7.03 to update to?
Why can't we update the 4 apps that need to be updated? (she can't use them at all)
Even the apps that have been deleted and show to be in the cloud can't be downloaded-why not?
I would really appreciate any help. It's been such a problem...I really don't want her to lose everything if possible. She is a 13 year old girl and would love to keep all her data etc.
Thanks in advance,
Stephanie

If this is only happening occasionally with incoming calls, I would check the signal strength where it occurs and also check with the carrier to have them check your account. Phone calls are a carrier responsibility, and since it seems to be a infrequent issue, I would look at the carrier first.

Reader 10.1.1 / AcroQTP / Win Vista / QTP10 - objects not recognised

Hi there,
I get the same behavior problem with my config: Reader 10.1.1 / AcroQTP / Win Vista / QTP10
According the comments found on others posts here, that is supposed to run.
Vista settings are done to avoid any problems (security on users desabled, everything is made on admin account,...).
PDF Reader has been reinstalled, and other versions has been tried too ( 9 and 10.1.4).
Only the latest version of AcroQTP has been used (business restriction for only PDF v10 or higher).
As other users, I can see the add-in ein my list, the "pdf items" in the tool>object identification but:
- no way QTP recognises the pdf content items, but only one global object.
- the test script that is provided with AcroQTP stops because the first item is not found (smart identifiction on and off, same behavior) --> which excludes pdf problems (as it is supposed to be interactive and not locked).
Any idea what I may have missed?
Thanks for your help

I unistalled and reinstalled everything. I still get the issue:
Config:
QTP 10.0 with Patch HP QTP_00626, on Vista and Browser IE7
All plugins (AcroPDF, Flex, etc) appear in the QTP active Plugins window.
Tested versions:
Reader 10.1.1 (not in compatible list but Adobe recommends it anyway, see "http://forums.adobe.com/message/3956025?tstart=0#3956025") -> No go
10.1.2 (ideal with the latest AcroPDF plugin) -> no go
10.1.4 (known issues, see the same link above) -> No go
remark: I only focus on the second version of the plugin (see "http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/aptt.html"), as the old one is compatible with 9.x versions, which are out of my scope. There is a rumour about an hypothetical third version, but nothing concrete here.
Problem:
I always get "Failed to find object: Failed to find Acrobat" when I run the AcroPDF test which is in the tool package. No acrobat installed.
The user manual says "An unsupported version of Acrobat is being used or both Acrobat and Reader are installed." But my configuration definitely fits with these criterias.
A record in QTP only sees AVPageView item.
-> According the AcroPDF documentation, it is supposed to only happen with QTP 9, but it appears with QTP 10 as well...
Does anyone have a clue how I could fix my issue?

I read a post about connecting to Vista with Finder Go
